The Cook of a Perished World - Chapter 191

Episode 191 Customer

“Thank you.”

“Thank you. I’m sitting here blankly looking at the sky. “The other guys did all the things I was thankful for.”

The 10 people who remained in the unit along with Sergeant Park Tae-jun.

Most of them are from the radar squad and are close successors to Sergeant Park Tae-jun.

“What are we? “Isn’t it your duty to assist Sergeant Park Tae-jun?”

“Tsk tsk. Still, I had a really hard time when he ordered me to hang that thread in centimeters.”

Similar to how we strengthened our camaraderie on earth.

It seemed like a bond of its own had formed among the guys who remained on the mountain.

Guys who laugh easily.

‘Is it because I’ve been in the mountains for a long time?’

Or maybe it’s because I’ve been with Taejun, who plays the role of a [shaman] for a long time.

It seems like something has been let go from the soldiers as well.

I felt a relaxed atmosphere like a natural person.

‘The same goes for Chuncheon, where there is a vimana. The same goes for the ammunition battalion where Alraune is located.’

What should I say?

We clearly maintain our identity as a military unit.

Both officers and soldiers.

Because the rank system is also similar to that of the military unit.

but.

‘It’s completely different from the military base of the past.’

Its form.

I felt like there was a significant distance from an ordinary military base.

‘The world has changed.’

A world that has changed.

What the world requires in order to survive.

This is probably what it looks like.

‘Well, it’s not bad.’

To survive in a destroyed world.

Each person is changing with their own unique characteristics.

It is true that it has changed considerably.

There is no need to be depressed there.

It looks different from the military units of the past.

This is it.

Because it is the strength of the army we have built up.

* * *

Talking to the soldiers like that.

Should I say strangely?

There was one thing that bothered me from earlier.

‘That military uniform.’

Although it looked similar to the military uniforms we were wearing.

It feels odd and old.

Of course.

When I made that dress.

Manager Lee Sang-ah, the maker of the clothes, was a [new seamstress].

‘The quality is bound to be a bit lacking.’

At the time, that alone was considered a huge scam item.

[Identification of food ingredients (enhancement)]

[A joint effort by an intermediate tailor, an intermediate blacksmith, and an intermediate engineer. Steel Corps Commander Combat Uniform Ver.9 – Legion Commander Custom Improved]

‘The name has become so long.’

It is true that there is a little difference compared to the clothes we are wearing now.

In the meantime, the level of production workers has increased a lot and materials have become more diverse.

[This is a combat uniform made from the leather of 12 monsters including the Lizard.]

[The padded plywood was reforged and processed in a special way after strengthening the minerals with Mac’s magic power.]

Its performance.

It was difficult to compare it to the early version they were wearing.

and.

That’s one of the reasons I came here.

“Well, I listened to what you said.”

The radar room is where radar squad soldiers mainly live.

After I went in there.

“It’s been a while since we’ve had a supply, kids!”

“Oh oh…!?”

I took out the items I brought from the [Shadow Curtain].

“New military uniform…!”

“The color is much better than before, isn’t it?”

“crazy. Does this look like long padding for winter? “Is this also an equipment item?”

The body types of soldiers were known by Captain Lee Sang-ah when he made clothes in the past.

The latest military uniforms are provided to them first.

“What weapon’s stats…!”

This is because Mr. Park’s grandfather only woke up on the ground after going down the mountain range.

Even weapons as [items] that these guys haven’t even tasted.

“I think my level has gone up by 10.”

Sergeant Park Tae-jun received the equipment.

He said as he put on his military uniform.

and.

That wasn’t all.

“Grunt.”

“Uh… what is this?”

“Solar panels and batteries.”

A solar power plant we recently acquired.

It was a solar panel brought from there.

“Solar panels.”

The guys are looking at that in bewilderment.

The electricity has been cut off for a long time.

You must have been living a pretty uncomfortable life all this time.

“It’s in the mountains, so there’s plenty of firewood. “There’s nothing wrong with having more electricity, right?”

Even now that winter is coming.

There are no fire-type wizards here.

This is a situation where we have to utilize the advantages of civilization to some extent.

“…But we don’t know how to use this.”

“What do I know? The engineers who came with us will install it. “These are the kids we brought in for that purpose.”

In the first place.

The reason I thought of stopping by here for a supply truck.

Among them, the main reason was to provide various types of equipment to prepare for winter.

“Oh my…”

“How much has the unit below grown while we’re here like this? “What the…”

After receiving the supplies.

The soldiers are astonished by its performance.

‘It’s a bit disappointing to be so impressed with just this.’

The most important supply hasn’t even happened yet.

finally.

“It’s combat rations.”

“…!”

Food I made myself.

Battle rations appear from the shadows.

The combat rations I brought out.

Sergeant Park Tae-jun, who saw the food, opened his eyes wide and said.

“…isn’t it all about beef jerky?”

“Hehe. “I know it with honor.”

Taejun is exactly as he said.

The combat rations I took out now.

Most of it is not beef jerky.

“It’s a lunch box.”

“I’m having a hard time here. “What’s the point of just throwing beef jerky around?”

It was in the shape of a lunch box.

“Now that we have that electricity, don’t you think we can use refrigerators and microwave ovens?”

“Is this the same concept as a frozen lunch box?”

“Well, basically, there’s no need to put it in the refrigerator. just in case.”

There is still nothing better than beef jerky for a quick meal during battle.

There is no need to give up that form.

‘These guys. It would be rare to need combat rations for battle.’

If you just need preserved food like this.

An attempt to make combat rations in the form of a lunch box.

The skill name of [Combat Rations] is [Combat Rations], not beef jerky.

I already practiced how to use this skill in different ways by making calorie bars for the monks at Myoyangsa Temple.

This lunch box set was created after all kinds of trial and error.

Soldiers of the 423rd Battalion.

You will be that first customer.

“Compared to the dish I just made myself, this one’s performance isn’t much better. “The taste is natural.”

“ah…!”

“Well, it’s been a long time since I’ve even tried Sergeant Shin’s cooking.”

It seems like it’s amazing.

Guys looking at packed lunch boxes.

“The downside is that it takes a lot of work. “Well, it’s something I just have to work hard for.”

however.

The reaction was strangely calm.

I can guess why.

‘Because these guys have only tried the dishes I made when I was at a low level.’

They say it tastes similar to the dish I cooked properly.

It may be difficult to know how much that is.

what.

That’s it, no worries.

‘Once you eat it, that reaction will change 360 degrees.’

I can’t believe I was thinking like that.

Taejun picked up one of the lunch boxes and started looking around.

“…Tsk.”

I was looking around and wondering what to do.

Sergeant Park Tae-jun suddenly bursts into light laughter.

“What’s so funny?”

“no. Youngjun is you. “I thought you turned out to be a perfect chef.”

“…Keuhum.”

actually.

This is something that has been pointed out little by little recently.

‘Is it an occupational disease or something?’

Whenever something happens.

It seems like I’ve developed a habit of associating it with cooking.

“I can’t believe Shin Young-jun has changed like this.”

“What am I?”

“Well. Do you remember? “When we first moved in, you were extremely depressed because you had to work at a restaurant one day.”

“Hmm. “That’s it.”

It is a bad habit that has now disappeared.

Even when I was a rookie, all the hard work was the youngest’s role.

“From the first day I started working at the restaurant, I had to start by scooping up and moving food waste. Hyeonta doesn’t come, so I’m going to throw it away? “If you think about that smell, it’s real.”

“The guy like that is now a heavenly chef. “I can’t help but laugh.”

This guy.

Sergeant Taejun Park is my only comrade.

Now that he and I have become sergeants in our later years.

The only soldier I’ve stayed with since I was a private.

To that guy, my current self seems to be quite interesting.

“Hey, if you think about it like that, you were also depressed because you were criticized for something unfair by your opponent.”

“ParkBam was strange back then!”

Even after that.

I chatted with Taejun for a while.

An army classmate I haven’t seen in a long time.

A sergeant in his later years who was tied up in the military without even being able to be discharged.

‘A relationship of equals.’

recent.

Is it because the overestimation of me has become so widespread?

Although I am approaching it in a friendly way.

Most of the time, the unit members treated me like a high-ranking person.

A corps commander or a guild leader.

Until recently, I was an ordinary cook.

To those who see me as a high-ranking person, I also have to respond as a high-ranking person.

To be honest, there were times when it was a little overwhelming.

‘Not this guy.’

90% of the conversations that took place were meaningless small talk.

A conversation with a friend I haven’t seen in a while.

Because it was a nonsense story, I actually enjoyed it more.

* * *

“Youngjun, don’t you know that?”

“What are you doing?”

By the time the conversation was over.

Taejun said.

“me. “Did you know you would come here?”

“Ah… with that astrology?”

“okay.”

Well, I expected it to some extent.

Even though I didn’t even tell you I was coming.

Isn’t this the guy who was waiting at the front gate in advance?

“It’s an ability that activates randomly regardless of your will, but it also activates in fairly trivial places?”

Let me say this while giggling.

Sergeant Park Tae-jun shakes his head with a bitter smile.

“That’s not right.”

“…huh?”

“As you said, there are times when it triggers in trivial places, but not this time.”

“What is that?”

“It was triggered in a very important area.”

That means.

It’s been a while since I last saw you, but the motivation is just as important.

It didn’t seem to mean that.

“When I first saw the movement of that star, I tried to contact you and prevent you from visiting here.”

“….”

“But as I continue to use my abilities, I think this could actually be beneficial. “I’m not sure whether my judgment is accurate or not.”

What follows.

It was even more meaningful.

“…What are you talking about?”

“Youngjun, I have nothing but admiration for what you and Minjae did.”

What Minjae and I did.

via radio.

I’m guessing you’re talking about unlocking information about monsters and zombies.

“It was great. The number of people who will be saved because of that incident will probably be significant. but.”

Looking up at the starry sky.

Sergeant Taejun Park mutters softly.

“Unlike me, there are people who are offended by what you did.”

“Is that so…”

I’m not stupid either.

I’m fully aware

that there will be people who don’t like what we did .

I did it knowingly.

“I did it because I thought it was something I had to do. “I thought I could handle that much.”

“I know. I don’t think it’s a wrong decision. But… you said you could bear it, right?”

“…?”

A guy who speaks in a light tone.

“The time to take it has come a little early.”

“what?”

“It was a good thing I didn’t mention the 423rd Battalion when talking about various bases on the radio.”

The radio broadcast included talk about the Legion’s stronghold.

The intention is to have survivors come to us and come under our influence.

but.

This is an extremely awkward place to accommodate survivors.

We talked about the ammunition battalion and the bunker in Chuncheon City.

We didn’t talk about this place.

“The guests are probably arriving by now.”

No one except our unit members.

this place.

The 423rd Raider Battalion is where the [Steel Legion] began.

They don’t know that legionnaires are still staying.

“A customer who doesn’t really like what you did… and wants to throw a tantrum.”

“…We’ve been seeing each other for as long as we can, but we don’t even have time to talk.”

I quickly got up.

“Where is it?”

The customer he was talking about.

To pick you up.
